Kandivli Education Society’s (KES) Law College, also known as Shri Jayantilal H. Patel Law College, is a prominent legal institution in Mumbai affiliated with the University of Mumbai. It offers specialized legal education through its 3-year and 5-year integrated law programs.
For the 2026-27 academic year, admissions are governed by the State Common Entrance Test (CET) Cell, Maharashtra, following a centralized process known as the CAP (Centralized Admission Process).
The admission process is strictly merit-based, relying on the MAH-L.L.B. CET entrance examination scores.

CAP Registration: Once results are out, candidates must participate in the Centralized Admission Process (CAP). During this phase, you must register, upload documents, and list KES Law College as a preferred option in the "Option Form."
Merit List & Allotment: The CET Cell releases multiple merit lists. If a seat is allotted at KES Law College, the candidate must "Freeze" the seat.
College Reporting: Finally, the candidate must physically report to the KES Law College campus in Kandivli for document verification and fee payment.
Note: Candidates appearing for their final year exams in 2026 are also eligible to apply, provided they produce proof of passing during the counseling phase.
